Actually, I use my Sub::Information [cpan.org] as it groups the info I need about subs in one spot. That being said, I typically don't reach for it as a first resort. I see a method or sub and I have the code open in my editor and I look for it. I only use tricky code when I'm really stuck because manually looking for code gives me a greater understanding of the overall code base. That's when I saw our lovely diamond inheritance which itself has diamonds further down:(

Yes, they do, but not all of our code does. However, MI is still a bad and fragile thing. It frequently introduces inappropriate compositions because it's a seductively easy (read: bad lazy) way of sharing behavior.

Yes, that is correct. I am currently working on that project and we are making decent progress, which you may see as a branch of 5.8 on the repo. One of the goals of this project is to eliminate unnecessary instances of MI (C::A::F, C::D::I) in the Catalyst core, and replace most instances of MI with roles. C3 will work fine with Moose (according to people who know better than I do) and so we will be using C3 and a compatibility layer for NEXT to minimize instances of broken legacy code.
